Fall is the most popular time to get married on the Minnesota North Shore. The fall colors and perfectly comfy weather make it a cozy, beautiful time of year to seal the deal.
Scroll through this breathtaking, colorful fall wedding to get all the inspiration you could dream of.
Details
One little detail I have to share is that these two are high school sweethearts and their wedding day was on their 10 year anniversary making it extra special.
Nova
I LOVE how much these two love their dogs. All dogs deserve to be loved and spoiled the way their fur babies are. Their soul dog Nova was supposed to be part of their wedding but she sadly passed a couple months before their wedding, but she was still a special part of their day, in spirit and in their hearts.
They honored her on their wedding day with memorial jewelry, a bouquet pendant and pocket square.
Getting ready
We started out the day getting ready in an airbnb on the North Shore. It was a duplex which was perfect so they could get ready separately but in the same location. Since I’m also a travel wedding hairstylist all my couples get one complimentary hairstyle when I’m their photographer, so I styled Kelsey’s hair while my associate Kerbie did everyone else’s hair.
first look on Lake Superior
Y’all these two have STYLE and looked liked they stepped right out of a romantic fall fairytale.
Kelsey’s dress fit her personality perfectly. It was radiant with sparkles, magical and whimsical.
And Sean’s suit?! How amazing are those colors?! I’ve never seen an iridescent suit before, it was so fun, uniquely him and perfect for their fall wedding.
Tettegouche State Park Wedding Ceremony
Tettegouche State Park is one of the best places to get married on the Lake Superior. It features some of the most iconic, breathtaking, best views of Lake Superior, especially in the fall. You can take a short, easy hike to stunning cliffside view points of the lake and shoreline, or hike to a waterfall of lake level beach.
Tettegouche also has designated ceremony areas with included seating making it super easy to say “I do” at the park.

Before leaving the park of course we had to hike to some epic Lake Superior viewpoints for their stunning wedding photos and wow…
Lake Superior was putting on a show with those waves and the bright blue colors.
I’m simply obsessed.
Wedding bonfire and Reception
A bonfire wedding reception is such a relaxing, cozy, intimate and fun experience for micro wedding receptions. The crackling flames and starlit skies adds a magical touch and provides a cozy setting for guests to gather around and connect.
And then of course theres all the fun, interactive activities like roasting marshmallows, making s'mores, or sharing stories. It’s an ideal way to combine romance, nostalgia, and a sense of adventure, leaving guests with lasting memories of a unique and enchanting celebration.

Love note
“I have only incredible things to say about Lovdahl Photography! She listened to the story of our love, she gave ideas on how we could capture what we were dreaming of, and she made it happen so beautifully on our wedding day! Alyssa allowed us to be ourselves and truly get each and every moment we had dreamt of that we wanted to be able to relive and look back on.
Alyssa was also my wedding hairstylist and absolutely KILLED it with my hair - it was incredibly windy on the shore but my hair literally looked incredible in every photo. My husband and I literally have been obsessing over the photos and memories of the day.”
